    My vote goes to Lugnut for a Decepticon commander class.

    I too want a core class Galavtron, if only to go with Unicron when he arrives.

    the tiny little one hes coming with is cool, but man im never gonna remove it from its baggy. personally i think that Unicron should have come with a Siege Battle Master Galvatron. yeah he would have been slightly too big to scale with Unicron properly but he still would have been small enough most people wouldn't have cared much, and still be an actual figure in its own right.

    ill probably end up making a paper mache display for it.

    You're probably right. I'm not a fan of that approach. I like when they keep the multiple scales to the kid's lines. A (somewhat) unified scale has been a strong point of modern Generations IMO.
    Do we have a confirmation of that? If that's the case, it would completely reverse my opinion on this toy. A Last Autobot would be amazing!

    Oh jeeeeze, he did NOT transform MP blackarachnia properly at all. He really seems to almost go out his way to mistransform MP figures (Cheetor, now blackarachnia).

    yes, Kingdom blackarachnia looks better than his transformation of it.... but when properlly transformed, I'd say they are different but comparable overall.

    Overall.. Beast mode is fine. The masterpiece figure is more expressive, has a better head and middle section. Kingdom has a better abdomen. Both have unsightly undercarriage. Neither are great. Neither is ideal. Masterpiece I had hoped for more, but their determination to keep robot mode perfect, and beast mode screen accurate, ended up with a very compromised beast mode.

    With kingdom, it was my hope that a more compromised robot mode, with that big backpack, and not adhering to the 90s spider would mean we could get a better looking spider overall. However, i guess the price point simply didn't make that possible and I'm a little disappointed, but it's a great figure overall.

    TonTon's review seems weird in how it seems to be praising Kingdom over Masterpiece in ways that don't really make sense to me. But to each their own. They are both great figures.

    Bang for the buck, Kingdom is crazy good.

    Outside of primus and tidal wave though do any on the rest of your list though stand out more than an airwave or greasepit? At the very least upscale micromasters bases could interact with other Titan bases. It seems to me that predaking and devestator were ill received. I’m just not convinced in a chug scale those combiners could carry the scale.

    This dude is consistently a moron when it comes to his reviews.

    Always rushed, always wrong.

    Literally "fake news."

    How he miserably transformed that glorious MP figure in order to support his opinion of the deluxe being a better spider mode is inexcusable.

    Hot damn! I legit thought they were going to mess-up stuff like the backpack in robot mode but somehow this Kingdom figure has quite a few advantages over the Masterpiece, especially in beast mode. Is much more balanced in that regard.

    Will buy her and her repaints, especially with that extra face.

    After watching the review, I'm somewhat convinced that they're going to do a Tarantulas retool where the faux eyes on the crotch become the actual eyes on the spider mode with the spider mode backwards of Blackarachnia's. This would put the hands in the appropriate position in spider mode, too. The inclusion of the alternate face just really pushes the idea even further.

    And compare it to my own picture, though shown from above you can see he has truly no idea what he's doing.

    If we had gotten a deluxe Blackarachnia that looked this good & show-accurate back when the series was airing, we would have lost our minds, that's for sure.

    He seems amusingly determined to convince people it's better than the MP, but it at least looks like a solid, simple alternative with a realistic spider mode.

    And what is up with that unpainted alternate face? Is that actually included with the figure, or just a "preview" of an upcoming remold (maybe molded on the same sprue at the factory)? Hasbro doesn't usually encourage kids to pull apart the heads of mainline figures like that. Seems more of an MP-style feature.

    Ok....while it doesn't bother me personally, that bot mode comparison shot shows that Rattrap is indeed too small.
